Redskins safeties Reed Doughty, Chris Horton have been through a lot together

On the morning of Sept. 14, 2008, Reed Doughty found himself in the emergency room, a troubling enough development even if he weren't scheduled to play an NFL game that afternoon. Doughty had spent much of the night throwing up, and it was clear he wasn't going to be able to start at safety for the Washington Redskins against the New Orleans Saints. So he sent a text message to his likely replacement, a seventh-round draft choice out of UCLA named Chris Horton.
